Please upgrade to CB 1.7.1 then apply the pre-patched file at the below bug ticket to resolve the bug. It's often due to your super user having multiple usergroups (they really only need super user).

With the above ticket you'd simply download cb.acl.php and place it in administrator/components/com_comprofiler/library/cb/. However, you must have CB 1.7.1 installed first. There's also a few other J1.7 related bugs fixed with pre-patched files on forge, which may interest you.
